Yesterday marked one of the best-named sporting events of our time, “The Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips 400 NASCAR Sprint Cut Race” at the Michigan International Speedway. The entertainment didn’t stop there: during the post-race interviews, a TV cameraman positioned behind Kyle Busch mimed slapping around the third-place finisher in his lens.

As the NASCAR season gets ready to fire things up, some scientists have come to the conclusion that the Heavens smell like a NASCAR race. As crazy as that sounds, it makes sense.
